About

Independent iOS developer behind Honku and Hibiki. Honku is a language learning app built around learning through sentences. Hibiki is a lightweight journal designed to help you remember everyday life without having to write long diary entries. I like building simple, focused products with thoughtful constraints.

Honku - Understand Japanese, one sentence at a time.

Honku is a Japanese learning app that helps you go beyond translation. Translate a sentence, read it with furigana, explore key vocabulary, hear it aloud, and learn from context — all in one place. Most translators stop at telling you what a sentence means. Honku helps you go further: read the original, understand important words in context, and see how the sentence works.

Hibiki - Remember your days without writing a diary.

Most journaling apps give you a blank page. Hibiki takes a different approach. It asks a few small questions about your day — what happened, where you went, who you met, what you enjoyed, and more. Answer only what feels worth remembering. A meal, a movie, a place, a person, or simply how the day felt. Over time, these tiny records become a picture of the life you actually lived. No pressure to write long entries. Just notice, remember, and look back.
